From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think there are a few compelling QOL aspects to Ubuntu still compared to Debian. The installer, the default fonts, the easy upgrader between releases, and the customized gnome desktop. Obviously the gap has narrowed between the two with each new release of Debian.
I used it forever because it was pretty lazy, but them overriding user choices to force snap is it for me.
